Re: Mankind - the product of de-evolution?

Civilization/culture and biological evolution are different concepts and should not be confused.   The concept of culture/civilization is open to wide interpretation.   You used the Inca as and example.  From the perspective of the Spaniards this was a sub human civilization without a concept of Christianity, or all the other things wihich they valued.  The Greeks called all non-Greeks barbarians, other terms like Gaijin, Gwilo, Gringo, Kike, Spic, Infidel, all point out that from and internal perspective societies always think they are better than everyone else.

Not only do societies go to the trouble of demeaning others, they also feel a need to exault themselves, by terms like Chosen People, The People, Children of God ... ect.

Neither of these factors have to do with biological evolution, and should not be confused as such.
